EVALUATION
This appears to be a major regression in Nvidia's latest Linux drivers (6106).
We'll have to narrow this down into a native testcase and send it off to Nvidia
for review.

This issue (app crash on exit with 6106/6111 drivers) has been fixed by
Nvidia in their latest (6629) driver release. There does not appear to be
any way to workaround this problem in our OGL-based pipeline, so the only
way to resolve the problem is to upgrade to the 6629 drivers. (There are
also performance improvements in the 6629 driver that are worth the upgrade.)
Once we've tested the new 6629 drivers on a few configurations and are
convinced that the issue is fixed, we will close this bug.

I installed the new 6629 drivers on my JDS (Mercury) system (2x 2.6 GHz P4,
Nvidia GeForce FX 5600) and I am no longer able to reproduce the crash-on-exit
bug reported here, after trying a number of applications such as Java2Demo,
SwingSet2, etc. I think we can safely say that the 6629 drivers fixed this
issue, so I will close this as "not a bug" (in the JDK, that is).
